Patches, the nefarious swindler that appears in most FromSoftware games (Souls series, Bloodborne, Elden Ring), is voiced by a guy who among other things narrated UK preschooler cartoons.

Fallout New Vegas had a bunch of Star Trek alumni - Michael Dorn (Worf), Rene Auberjonois (Odo on DS9), Wil Wheaton, the guy who played the Section 31 agent in DS9, Richard Herd (Adm. Paris on Voyager), James Horan (mysterious blurry "future guy" in Enterprise) plus Fred Tatasciore who has since voiced Shaxs on Lower Decks - plus others that had one off roles. From Galactica we have Michael Hogan (Col. Tigh) and from Babylon 5 Robin Atkin Downes (Byron in Season 5; his name is listen in F:NV credits as Robin Atkin "Don't call him Byron" Downes ) and Andrea Thompson (Telepath Thalia Winters). It's  very cast in that regard.

Fallout 1 is the first game I really noticed famous voice actors in a game.  I was just 16 or 17 so I remembered several voices from cartoons (hey that's Darkwing Duck!), and voice acting in games was still fairly new.  Only about a dozen characters had voice actors in that one.

French versions of games coming out of Quebec has many of our regular TV/film actors doing voice over. Sometimes I will watch a show with actors whose voice I hear in the game I'll play later.
